Positioning Outrigger Floats
2.
Set EXTEND/RETRACT toggle switch to EXTEND
position.
3.
Set left or right EXTENSION toggle switch to extend
either front or rear outrigger. The appropriate
outrigger should begin to extend.
NOTE
More than one outrigger can be
extended at one time. However, to
ensure that all four outriggers are fully
extended, each outrigger extension
should be performed individually.
4.
After all four outrigger beams are fully extended, use
left or right STABILIZER toggle switch to extend front
or rear stabilizer. (The EXTEND/RETRACT toggle
switch should remain in the EXTEND position.)
5.
Extend
each
stabilizer,
positioning
float
as
necessary, until locking levers of float engage the
stabilizer cylinder.
6.
With each stabilizer float firmly touching ground, use
STABILIZER toggle switches to extend front
stabilizers 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10.2 cm).
7.
Then, use STABILIZER toggle switches to extend
rear stabilizers 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10.2 cm).
8.
Repeat the procedures in steps 6 and 7 until all
wheels are clear of ground and crane is level, as
indicated by the sight bubble level indicator located
at right side control panel. If you suspect that the
sight bubble level indicator is out of adjustment,
verify and adjust it as follows.
a.
Locate crane on a firm level surface.
b.
Extend and set outriggers. Level crane, as
indicated by the sight bubble level indicator,
using the outriggers.
